After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 293 The power of God is unpredictable
As soon as the emperor said this, the whole audience fell silent.

When Gu Mingda heard this, his heart was in his throat. Even Shen Changfeng, who was usually calm, realized that something was wrong. Xie Xingchuan was also winking at Niu Niu.

Unfortunately, Niu Niu didn’t see any of this. Joy instantly burst out in her eyes.

Li Yong chuckled and asked, "Did you ask for this?"

He thought that Niu Niu, such a well-behaved girl, would definitely ask for this honor for her father.

But the next second, the little girl said, "I don't ask for this."

This time it was Li Yong who was surprised: "You kid, don't you even consider your father?"

Niuniu sighed and said, "I also want to consider my father."

Li Yong asked, "Don't you want to be a good daughter?"

Niuniu shook her head, opened her big eyes, and answered seriously: "Who becomes the number one scholar is the court's business. I can't force it."

Niu Niu still remembers her mother's repeated warnings, telling her not to make wishes on such matters.

My mother also said that since my father had passed the palace examination, his status as a Jinshi was already secured and he didn't need to worry about his ranking.

The ranking does in fact affect one's future, and Zhang Yunniang did not say that there would be other candidates in the palace examination.

Tongjinshi has always been elegantly called "Ru Madam", which means she is inferior to ordinary Jinshi.

Zhang Yunniang deliberately did not explain it clearly to Niuniu. She only said that the court had its own arrangements and that her daughter had special abilities and she was afraid that this silly child would misuse them.

At this time, Niu Niu still believed that her father's future was secure.

Li Yong said, "You are such a little girl, but you know that the court has the final say. But if your father loses his title of No. 1 scholar because of this, won't you feel bad?"

Niuniu didn't answer immediately after hearing this, but turned around and asked, "Daddy, will you feel uncomfortable?"

Gu Mingda smiled and said, "I didn't become the top scholar because of my lack of ability. How can I blame you?"

Niuniu immediately said to Li Yong: "If Daddy is not uncomfortable, then I will not be uncomfortable either."

Seeing this loving father and filial daughter, Li Yong felt envious again and asked, "If you don't ask for fame for your father, what do you ask for?"

Gu Mingda's heart was in his throat again. He was afraid that Niuniu would make some difficult requests, which would displease the emperor and he would take his anger out on Niuniu.

Niuniu frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "What do you think I should ask for?"

When Li Yong heard this, his heart trembled, and that familiar feeling came over him again. He didn't expect that the same words would be said by the little girl in front of him again.

They even met in Baiyun Temple.

If the girl in front of him wasn't so young, he would have almost suspected that this was the wife of his dreams.

After he ascended the throne, he saw the same woman in his dreams for a long time. Although he could not see the woman's face clearly, they spent their whole lives in the dream.

Although he was also the king, in his dream he did not have the loneliness of sitting high on the clouds with no one to accompany him. His queen was the best woman in the world.

A loving couple and two children, that is the happy life he never had in reality.

The place where they first met was in the peach forest of Baiyun Temple.

In the dream, he was very happy to see his wife and asked her what she wanted, to which she asked the same question in return.

Li Yong couldn't help but wonder, could it be that someone told Niu Niu these words? Was everything that happened today deliberately planned by someone?

But he shook his head quickly. First, he had never told anyone about his dream, not even the Queen Mother and the eldest princess. Second, if he really wanted to do something, he shouldn't have sent a six-year-old girl. He should have sent a girl of the right age. Li Yong said like himself in the dream: "Why, don't you know what you want? You just think about what you lack. As long as you want, I can make you a princess or a county lady."

Niuniu shook her head and said, "I don't seem to lack anything, so I won't ask for anything for myself."

When Li Yong heard this, he couldn't help but look deeply at Niuniu, and said meaningfully: "You can also ask for one thing for your family."

Niuniu didn't notice the change in the emperor's expression. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "I didn't do you any big favors, but I see that you seem to be always unhappy, so I beg you to be happier."

Every time Niu Niu saw Li Yong, she felt that he was lonely and seemed to be shrouded in melancholy.

Even when he smiled, it didn't seem like he was truly happy.

Li Yong stood there in a daze, he felt that he was wandering between reality and illusion.

The Niu Niu in front of me said the same words as the girl in my dream, and their faces gradually overlapped.

But the girl was too young before. If she was ten years older, Li Yong would definitely take her back and make her the queen.

Li Yong's chest seemed to be blocked by a ball of wet cotton and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Niu Niu is still as fearless as a newborn calf. Li Yong is in an abnormal state now. Gu Mingda behind him is so scared that he dares not speak, but Niu Niu still has no fear of this man.

"Mr., can I continue to call you that?" Niu Niu asked.

Li Yong nodded.

Niu Niu added: "My father always said that life is only 30,000 days long. It is precisely because life is short that we should live every day seriously."

"Although I am young, I live my life seriously and try to make myself happy every day."

"Mr. Big, you should do the same. Don't frown all the time. Your family will worry."

It's rare for Niu Niu to speak so long.

Li Yong stared at the little girl in front of him, and after a long while he let out a long sigh: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Shen Changfeng, who had originally lowered his head, suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Yong in confusion. He felt that this sentence was a bit strange. The emperor was the supreme ruler, so how could he say such humble words?

Niu Niu didn't notice anything wrong, but laughed happily.

"It's getting late. I should go back to the palace. The scenery of Baiyun Temple is just right. You can enjoy it slowly."

After saying this, Li Yong left. When passing by Shen Changfeng, he knocked on the head of this unfortunate nephew twice.

Shen Changfeng was so scared that he covered his head and ran away.

After everyone left, Shen Changfeng said, "This is strange. Didn't we say before that because of what happened to Li Xuan, the emperor would not come to Baiyun Temple anymore? Why did he sneak here again?"

Gu Mingda said: "The power of heaven is unpredictable. Perhaps this Baiyun Temple is destined to be with Your Majesty. Don't spread what happened today, lest His Majesty be displeased."

Shen Changfeng and Xie Xingchuan nodded naturally.

Niuniu said, "Don't worry, Daddy. I've always kept my mouth shut. But I think even if I tell him, he probably won't mind. His Majesty seems to be easy to talk to."

Gu Mingda said: "You are a child, and everyone is always more tolerant of children, and so is Your Majesty."

Gu Mingda originally wanted to say a few more words like "to be with the king is like being with a tiger", but then he thought, Niuniu would not always be with Li Yong. At most, they would just say a few words when they met occasionally outside like now.

It's good for Niu Niu to maintain her childish innocence as it is now, and there is no need for any additional guidance.

When Li Yong returned to the palace, a eunuch immediately came to report: "Your Majesty, several old masters have finished marking the papers. Please take a look at them."
